One of the internet users wrote in his post, "Legend actor Vijay Sethupathy sir always heart touching. Jawan se aacha yeh roll hoga,"  another user wrote, "Another Masterpiece Character Loading." 

One of the netizens even called Vijay “the No.-1 actor” in the world. Meanwhile, a user said, “Is there anything that you can't do.”

At the poster launch event, Vijay Sethupathi thanked his fans for the praise and criticism he has received throughout the year. He also mentioned that “50 is not expected at all, which is like a milestone” for him. The actor also thanked the directors and artists who gave him a good experience.

While speaking about the Maharaja movie, he told the media that, "Natti Sir, Aruldas Anne, Singambuli Anne have all acted well. Abhirami and Mamata both acted very well. I am a fan of Abhirami Medathoda from Virumandi…It will be a movie where Maharaja talks. It will also do well commercially. While writing the film, Nithilan had written it as a film that would earn double or triple profit for the producer."

The actor also mentioned Anurag Kashyap, who is also part of the movie. He said Anurag is not just a good director but also a good actor.
